• When you need the extra space that rack bags provide, but need something that will not get in your way when the going gets strange, Nano Panniers are the ticket! These bags were designed around Old Man Mountain racks, making them a perfect fit. Designed to carry dense and heavy stuff like food, water and fuel in a low profile form. For shorter riders who need to run a rack due to limited carrying space elsewhere, these bags are your new best friend.

    At only 4" wide the load stays tight to the bike on singletrack and will not get in your way on those nasty hike-a-bikes. An external compression system keeps the bag snug at various load levels.

    The devil is in the details on our rack attachment system. Although simple in concept, the tight spacing between the aluminum loop and strap prevents slop at the pannier rails. A bomber Voile nano strap with metal hardware provides tension at the bottom and gives versatility in mounting.

    Fiberglass stiffened high density foam frame sheet gives the bag internal structure and works with the external compression system to transfer load to the rack.

    Made with 200 denier UHMWPE / Polyester woven laminated fabric, the Nanos have a minimum of seams for durability and water resistance, plus double taped lower seams.

  •     The Made in USA versions of our racks are made in California by the company's founder, Channing Hammond. While made to nearly the same design as our other racks, they retain our Classic logo embossed on the deck, and you now know the name of the guy that makes them. Old Man Mountain racks are the most versatile racks available. Capable of mounting to full-suspension mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes, fat bikes, even tri-bikes if that's what you're in to. Tested and trusted in the most extreme environments on earth (we're still trying to get NASA to take them to the moon). Our racks have helped riders traverse Iceland in bitter cold winters, carried the gear of countless GDMBR riders, and circumnavigated the globe. The only remaining question is where will it go with you? Want to use our rack on a bike that isn't made for racks? Want to swap your rack between multiple bikes? A Fit Kit is all you need.

    These are on backorder. Order now, we are expecting to be restocked on or around April 18th. Where are you going? Absolutely anywhere with the Ponderosa Panniers. These bikepacking panniers are ready for everything. Sunshine or rain, your gear will stay dry and protected in these 100% waterproof, TPU fabric panniers with welded seams and Hypalon reinforcements. We've secured them to the rack with camming velcro straps at the top and use the lower compression strap to loop through the rack and guarantee that your bags don't turn into dumbo ears when you hit a bump, no matter how rough. We've made all of the compression straps replaceable so next time you spill some salsa on your bag and Mr. Mouse nibbles through one you can just swap it out, nice and easy. The Ponderosa Panniers have the typical frame sheet in the back (against the rack), but we've also added a removable frame sheet on the frontside of the bag so it compresses evenly to give you the slimmest profile bag possible with what you choose to carry. Our branding is super subtle so you can focus on your adventure and not our logos. It's embossed into loop velcro so you can attach any patch with ease and swap it out as your mood suits you.
